Originally posted by GreatEmerald View PostInteresting. I looked over the Wikipedia list on what products use VideoCore and their xda-developers pages, and the drivers are certainly making a difference for the Galaxy Y/Ace i crowd, as those fairly old smartphones are now getting an update to a relatively new version of Android. The more interesting hardware, though, is Galaxy S II Plus and Galaxy Grand, and I can't see much information on whether the docs help there.

Originally posted by Philip View PostThe released code is basically the code that shipped on the Galaxy Y/Ace, so it should be easy to get working there. But I think it's a fairly distant relative of the binary-blob code shipped on Raspberry Pi, and even more distant to the code that shipped on the more recent S II Plus / Grand, so it seems likely to be similarly challenging to port to any of those platforms. (And Samsung already announced Android 4.4 support for Galaxy Grand, so there's less motivation to port to that.)
